What is the GDPR (and why should I care)?

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a piece of legislation that is designed to strengthen and unify data protection laws for all individuals within the European Union.

For that reason, GDPR applies to any organization in the European Union that is processing personal data, as well as any organization that processes the personal data of EU data subjects, regardless of whether the organization has a presence in the European Union or whether the processing is conducted within the European Union.

If you collect, store, manage, or analyze personal data of any type, including email addresses, it is likely that the GDPR affects your organization.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation designed to increase protections around the processing of personal data of data subjects in the European Union.

Enabling double opt-in is a practice that may help you comply with the affirmative consent requirements of the GDPR. When double opt-in is enabled, contacts will need to confirm their email address before receiving further communications.

Under the GDPR, contacts have the right to request deletion of their data. Familiarising yourself with how to delete contact information may help you comply with such requests once the GDPR takes effect.
